- Mark,
-
- The Internet is a major unknown in political circles. Not only do the
- politicians not want to post/publish information in public, if it weren't for
- special interest groups, most legislation would be done in such a way that you
- would never hear about it.
-
- There is something you can do. GET INVOLVED. Contact you local "party" offices
- and find out who is planning on running. Talk to the candidates about the
- Internet and open communications. Get them involved in an open dialog with the
- people that they are supposed to represent.
